1. In the song, "One Day More" which of the following characters does NOT have a solo (this includes singing a solo counterpoint against someone else)?

Answer: Cosette

The only time Cosette sings is with Marius. "Tomorrow you'll be worlds away/and yet with you my world has started...". Valjean begins the song with a solo and repeats "One day more"s throughout. Javert sings, "One more day to revolution..." and Eponine sings "One more day all on my own..."
2. Who was the original Javert on Broadway?

Answer: Terrence Mann

Terrence Mann is the best Javert ever! He is absolutely amazing! His other credits include: Chauvelin in "The Scarlet Pimpernel," Rum Tum Tugger in "Cats" and Larry in the movie of "A Chorus Line." Philip Quast was Javert in London and Australia, as well as on the Complete Symphonic Recording and the Tenth Anniversary Concert
3. Speaking of Javert...In the Original Broadway Cast Recording of "One Day More" Javert says..."One more day to revolution/we will nip it in the bud/we'll be ready for these schoolboys/They will wet themselves with blood." However, in the Complete Symphonic Recording, the words are a little different. What are the words sung for the third line in the CSR?

Answer: I will join these little school boys

Aussie Philip Quast sang Javert on the Complete Symphonic Recording as well as for the Tenth Anniversary Concert.
4. On the Complete Symphonic Recording, who was the actress who performed the role of Eponine?

Answer: Kaho Shimada

Yes, Kaho Shimada sang the role of Eponine on the Complete Symponic Recording after playing the role in Tokyo. At the time of the recording, she knew NO English (she had to be taught it phonetically). Frances Ruffelle was the original Eponine on the West End and on Broadway. Lea Salonga performed Eponine on Broadway and on the Tenth Anniversary Concert. Diana Kaarina was the Eponine on Broadway when "Les Miserables" closed on May 18, 2003.
5. Complete this lyric from "One Day More" sung by the Thenardiers. "Watch 'em run amuck/catch 'em as they fall/never know your luck/when there's ___________". What?

Answer: a free-for-all

The Thenardiers have a history of striking it rich by stealing from dead bodies. During "Dog Eats Dog" Thernardier steals several objects, among them Marius's ring. Also, from the interlude to "Master of the House," we learn that Thernardier "made a tidy score from the spoils of war," after the Battle of Waterloo.
6. Whom of the following four people is NOT a member of Thernarider's Gang, the "Bleeding Layabout"?

Answer: Bamatabois

Bamatabois is the customer who has Fantine arrested for "attacking" him. The members of the "Bleeding Layabout" are named by Thernardier in "The Robbery."
"Everyone here, you know your place/ Brujon, Babet, Claquesous/You, Montparnasse, watch for the law/With Eponine take care/You turn on the tears/No mistakes my dears."
7. How many times do the lyrics "On My Own" appear throughout the entire musical?

Answer: six

The lyrics "On My Own" appear twice in the song of the same name: "On my own/prentending he's beside me" and "I love him, I love him/I love him, but only on my own." These three words are also sung by young Cosette after "Castle on a Cloud": "Please do not send me out alone/Not in the darkness on my own." The fourth and fifth times occur are sung by Eponine during "One Day More": "One more day all on my own/One more day with him not caring/what a life I might have known/But he never saw me there!" and then twice later in counterpoint, "One more day all on my own."
8. Which of the Barricade boys has a "slight" alcohol problem?

Answer: Grantaire

This can be seen in a rather hilarious exchange between Enjolras and Grantaire after "Red and Black"
Enjolras: "Grantaire put the bottle down! Do we have the guns we need?"
Grantaire: "Give me brandy on my breath and I'll breath them all to death."
9. True or False: The Thernardiers sing "There a little 'dip'" in "One Day More".

Answer: False

Be careful...The Thernardiers lyrics for "One Day More" are "Watch 'em run amuck/Catch 'em as they fall/Never now your luck/When there's a free-for-all./HERE a little DIP/THERE a little TOUCH/Most of them are goners/So they won't miss much."
10. What is Gavroche's last name (this information is from the book)?

Answer: Thenardier

Yes, little Gavroche is a Thenardier. If you read the book, you would know that the Thenardiers had five children: Eponine, Gavroche, Azelma, and two little boys who were sold away.
